9 Bye Felucia (3/3)

<Malac's Pov>

Shit, the sith is catching up to us, we will not be able to run much further, at this rate he will take us all. I can't believe his power, for such a young man, the Galaxy will be afraid to cross us with him at our helm, he and the Lord will bring us to the forefront of the Galaxy, I just have to make sure he doesn't kill us before then.

"Vaylin, Arcann, go ahead, Armalus, make sure they get to the door safely, take the Master Jedi with you, I will hold the Sith here until you guys are safe."

<Pov Change>

*Thud*

"Malac, I told you he was stronger than you, I said not to provoke him, what did you do?"

The mountain of a Knight commander began to shake at my question.

"I probed him with the force, I want-"

I laughed, "I didn't permit you to do that, did I? I only asked for the Jedi Master to be saved, you are to escort her and your squad to the door and return to Zakuul, we will discuss the mission when I return, is that clear?"

"Yes my lord."

I continued to walk forwards, towards my future apprentice and the leader of the Reformed Knights, Gallen Marek, Starkiller as he was known in certain circles. He launched himself at me with a barrage of savage lightsaber strikes, someone of his power in the force shouldn't be using Lightsabers, they are a waste of time, primitive tools used by fools.

Using concentrated elements of the force as a shield, I blocked every blow before they could make contact with my body, not that they would do anything if they did hit me. As the Sith began to tire, he grew desperate, throwing himself further and further into the Dark side, drawing as much power from it as he could.

He unleashed this power in the form of a force detonation, the power of which flung my body back a few thousand feet, slamming into a cliff face, I felt myself slide down the cliff like a typical holo show villain. So this stuff happens in real life too?

My wounds had already healed by the time I had Impacted with the cliff, opening a Door, I moved back to where I was standing pre-force blast, Galen was panting, kneeling in the dirt. "Is that all you are worth Sith? I expected more from you, come get up and try again."

Using force pull, I yanked him onto his feet, I also flung his lightsabers into the dirt at his feet, "What are you waiting for? Don't you Sith think the Dark Side is all-powerful? Try and make me feel that power this time."

A guttural snarl was the response I got from the young man" Who are you and where is Shaak Ti?"

"The Master of nothing is safe within my Empire's space, not the empire you are thinking of, I'm no Sith, not anymore, neither am I a Jedi for that matter. I was an Exile and now I'm a Mad Prince, wait, a Mad Emperor? Doesn't matter, none of this does, what does matter is that I'm here to give you a choice, a rather important one."

I slowly approached the Sith.

"You do not have to decide this now, I will return to you on the day you are meant to die as I have for Shaak Ti and then I will offer you the chance, once more for a final time. Your destiny is written in the force, your death is set in stone but I can change that, you may be thinking that I'm lying? I have no need for lies, I have outgrown them, you could be so much more than a Sith puppet, you and the Girl you are falling for would be safe."

Confusion flashed through Galen's eyes before he stuttered out "How do you know about Juno?"

"I can see fractures in time and in these fractures have many different outcomes to many different choices occur, I have seen you replace Vader as the Emperor's puppet, I have seen you die many times over, I have seen a clone of you get the girl of your desires. I have seen both your birth and death, Galen, I know you better than you know yourself. I know you will not believe me but in time you will, I have a final gift I want to give you. "

Standing in front of the scared Sith Assassin, I placed my hand on his forehead, "I will give you the rare chance to see my journey to what I am now, you will see my memories condensed into the important events of my life. It will teach you about the force, the light and the dark as well as the Jedi and the Sith. My family of would-be Gods, wars long past and friends long forgotten. I hope you learn something from this."

As I passed my memories to Galen, he began to scream, I forgot how painful this was for the receiver, I'm sure he will understand once he sees it all, how the galaxy looks to an exile...
